Julie Ann Laubach

Julie Ann Laubach, 62, of RR 7, Stroudsburg, passed away March 13, 2013, in Pocono Medical Center, under the faithful accompanying vigil of family, friends, her companion, and thoughtful care of the staff.

Julie was born in Nanticoke on April 27, 1950, a daughter of the late Harold Bruce and Dorothy Kathleen Laubach of East Stroudsburg.

Julie graduated from East Stroudsburg High School and worked as a monitor-tech at Pocono Hospital. Moving to live near her father in Florida, she received her LPN in 1991 from Lake County Vo-Tech. She worked as a nursing assistant for the VNA, and in the emergency room at Florida Hospital Waterman, before returning to give health care to her mother in 1993. She worked as an LPN at Pocono Medical Center before being diagnosed with liver disease, and received a liver transplant at Presbyterian Hospital, Pittsburgh, in November 1995.

She fought a brave and valiant fight for life through many ensuing health complications for over 17 years. Julie was blessed with a warm, kind and generous heart, and a ready quick sense of humor and wit that constantly brought delight and pleasure to both family and friends.

Julie will be deeply missed by all those who survive her: her sisters, Donna Laubach-Moros and husband, Edgar, of Merida, Venezuela, and Linda K. Laubach and husband, Bernard Berg, of Easton; her nieces, Matica and husband, John, and Donna C. Moros; nephew Edgar and wife, Glenda; and her grandnieces and nephews Alexa, Omar, Elena, and David and Isabella. Julie is also survived by her loyal companion of over 10 years, Ignacio (Roy) Stanley, and by devoted friends Nancy, Patty, Annetta and Jason, who would not leave Julie's side.

There will be a private prayer memorial held for Julie's family and friends.

Donations may be sent in Julie's memory to the Presbyterian Church of the Mountain, Delaware Water Gap, PO Box 336, Delaware Water Gap, PA 18327.
